'Neighbour sent angry note about uncivilised eyesore in my garden - I refuse to get rid'

It doesn't matter how often you do the laundry, you never seem to get to the bottom of the pile of dirty clothes. To combat this problem, one man installed an extremely long washing line in his garden so he can hang five loads at once.

However, his new 'garden feature' hasn't gone down well with his neighbour, who deemed it an "eyesore" to the entire community. Taking to Reddit, he said: "Our house has a large clothesline setup, a previous owner had metal posts set into concrete in the backyard and I bought some new line to string between them.

"This spring, with the warmer weather begins my third year using a clothesline. I have real data showing significant energy savings. I can hang five loads outside and they'll all dry in an afternoon." He went on to explain how he prefers drying laundry outside because it ends up smelling better than it would using the machine.
